Neuromuscular ultrasound from a business perspective

William Baek12/8/22 11:19 AM (CST)
Hi guys! I'm trying to see if neuromuscular ultrasound makes sense from a business perspective. 
Cadwell quoted us 23K for the ultrasound software and upgrading our laptop(apparently our current laptop which we use for EMG is insufficient?). 
Seems that the RVUs/Medicare reimbursement rates for 2023 are as follows:

The RVU’s and CMS reimbursement for each beginning in 2023 will be:

76881—1.56 ($51.57)

76882—1.20 ($39.67)

76883—2.15 ($71.08)

So ultimately it all depends on time, patient volume, and return. 
I would like to hear from those who have had experience regarding this matter. 
Thank you.

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
